Abstract

The effects of protein-bound polysaccharides (A-PBP and L-PBP) that were extracted from the mycelia of two edible mushrooms, namely Agaricus blazai and Lentinus edodes, on serum cholesterol and body weight were investigated in mice and female volunteers. Six groups of Male Balb/c mice were fed six kinds of diet supplement- solutions composed of L-PBP, A-PBP, chitosan, and other fiber constituents, for 30 days under the normal diet. Ninety female volunteers were also supplemented for 8 weeks with six kinds of capsules including control and five test groups as the same manners (two times a day, 4 capsules). From 12 days after feeding of L-PBP (Group I) and A-PBP (Group II), the weight of mice began to reduce as compared with control, whereas that of Group III fed chitosan was decreased 15 days after feeding. Group W and Group V which were fed mixture of L-PBP, A-PBP, chitosan, and other dietary fiber, were more significant in lowering weight. After 4 weeks of the supplementation in women, their serum LDL-cholesterol level and body weights in Group I and II were reduced, but Croup 111 taken with chitosan capsule showed weaker effect than Group I and II. After 8 weeks, LDL-cholesterol content in the sera of Group I (132.5 mg/dL) and II(131.5 mg/dL) was decreased to ideal level (125.4 and 122.8 mg/dL) for healthy blood vessel. In the case of Group W supplemented with mixture of L-PBP, A-PBP, and chitosan, the weight-reduction effect (11.8%) and hypocholesterolemic effect (11.0%) was most significant, indicating their synergistic action. These data suggested that the weight-controlling and hypolipidemic effect of L-PBP and A-PBP was involved, at least in part, in absorption of cholesterol as their role of dietary fiber, as well as cholesterol metabolism.

아가리쿠스와 표고버섯 균사체에서 분리한 단백다당류 (A-PBP, L-PBP)의 체중과 혈중 콜레스테롤 조절효과를 흰쥐와 성인여성을 대상으로 조사하였다. 투여방법은 L-PBP(Group I), A-PBP(Group II), chitosan(Group III), 상기 3종 혼합물(Croup IV)및 Group IV에 식이섬유혼합물의 첨가된(Group V) 5가지 실험군으로 구성하여 다이어트 소재를 구성하였다. 흰쥐의 경우는 정상사료 공급하에 액상으로 1일 1회, 성인여성은 정상식사 후 캅셀 화하여 1일 2회 복용시켰다. 마우스 투여 12일 후부터 L-PBP와 A-PBP로만 구성된 Group I, II에서 체중이 유의적으로 감소됨을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 키토산만으로 구성된 Group III은 이들보다. 낮은 효과를 보였으며, Group IV 및 V에서는 더 높은 체중감소를 나타내었다. 여성성인의 경우, A-PBP 와 L-PBP를 복용한 4주 째부터 체중이 유의적으로 감소하였고, 8주 째부터는 혈청 총콜레스테를 함량이 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 특히 LDL-콜레스테롤이 현저하게 감소하였음을 알 수 있었다. 키토산의 경우 버섯 다당류들 보다 다소 낮은 효과를 보였으나, Group I, II와 유사하게 LDL-콜레스테롤의 감소가 현저하였다. 버섯 단백다당류들과 키토산 및 시판 식이섬유 혼합물을 혼합 투석시 (Group IV, V), Group I, II에서보다 체중이 효과적으로 감소되어 실험 8주 째에 각각 11.8%와 12.8%의 체중감소를 나타내었다. 또한, 혈중지방 특히 중성지방과 LDL-콜레스테롤의 감소에 있어서도 현저한 시너지 효과를 보였다. 이상의 결과는 아가리쿠스와 표고버섯 단백다당류가 식이섬유로서 콜레스테롤 흡수저해와 콜레스테롤 생합성을 억제하여 비만과 고지혈증의 예방과 개선에 기여할 수 있음을 시사해 준다.
